Chapter 828: Defending the Homeland
Just as everyone was staring at the fireball, Jing Chen kept looking at the dead mid-level beast king. His body was trampled by later monsters. At this moment, whether it was the corpse of the mid-level beast king, the corpse of the high-level beast king, or the corpse of the low-level monsters, there was no essential difference for these living monsters. The corpse was just used to build roads.
Jing Chen stared at the flesh-and-blood ladder with the rolling flames. Many low-level monsters even got burned to death by the flames on it shortly after they even climbed the ladder. The moat, which was originally ten meters wide and five or six meters deep, had already been filled with the corpses of the monsters. Under the city, there were flames, blood and the corpses of the monsters.
This is a purgatory battlefield...
Countless monsters roared and rushed up the ladder, but unfortunately, not long after, the roar turned into a weak whine, and finally turned into a charred corpse.
The monsters also tried to use magic to bombard the Cologne Fortress. Unfortunately, at this time, the old men in golden robes would step up. After a few rounds of killing, some beast king-level monsters that were originally thinking about emerged will no longer dare to emerge.
This is the beast king-level monster. A group of monsters with wisdom. With wisdom, they will be afraid, while the fear of low-level monsters comes very short.
As for the ladder made of corpses of monsters, there was no good idea for the people in Cologne. Although this kind of thing did not appear again and again, it would appear every time a large-scale beast siege. Even after the war, the defenders could only rely on manpower to divide the ladder and then bury it. Now it is obviously not the conditions for such a treatment.
On the city wall, various trajectories continued to appear on the beasts. Every light flashed by, it would take away the lives of a large number of monsters. A large number of monsters had died at the hands of these weapons.
Countless monsters that were pierced by crossbow arrows and ignited by flames. Although they did not die immediately, all struggles were futile, because in a blink of an eye, there would be later companions trampling past their bodies. Whether they struggled or avoided, they would be useless. In the end, they were also stepped into flesh and mud and became part of the flesh and blood ladder.
The splattered blood stained the walls of the Cologne Fortress red.
Thick smoke, flames, roars, roars, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere. All of this was intertwined and formed the battlefield in front of Jing Chen. A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. At this moment, Jing Chen vaguely felt that the roar that could determine the morale of the beasts was the lord-level monster mentioned by the old man.
Unfortunately, the wisdom of a lord-level monster is comparable to that of humans. Judging from the current situation, unless the monster comes out on its own initiative, it is unlikely to be discovered by many powerful people on the city wall. At the end of the sight, at the intersection of the darkness and the earth, there are still countless red lights flowing into the boundless group of beasts, rushing towards the Cologne Fortress like a tide.
Gradually, the ladder piled up higher and higher. The originally unattainable fortress wall was getting closer and closer to the top of the ladder. At this moment, a bloodthirsty aura filled the city wall. Many veterans who had been through the battlefield showed a very strange excitement. Some of them were ready to rub their hands, while others smiled with a ferocious smile and stretched out their tongues and licked their lips, as if the next moment, they were about to pounce into the group of beasts, tearing off a few pieces of monster meat and swallowing them into their stomachs.
"Click!"
A flash of lightning broke through the dead night sky, and a heavy rain suddenly came, and the big bean-sized raindrops poured down, like a broken pearl. At this moment, the people on the city wall had no intention of hiding from the rain. On the contrary, their expressions became more and more serious. The heavy rain was actually heavy rain. The originally burning flames slowly extinguished. The monsters that were rising all over their bodies a moment ago, struggling to welcome death and their companions, suddenly found that the flames on their bodies were extinguished. The excitement was beyond the reach of everyone on the city wall. Soon, they expressed their joy with their actions.

The excitement was beyond the reach of everyone on the city wall. Soon, they expressed their joy with their actions.
"Roar!Roar!Roar..."
The roars of beasts were rising one after another. For humans at this moment, the heavy rain might be a disaster. The heavy rain not only made the incendiary bombs that had made many amazing achievements lose their meaning, but also made the magic crystal cannon silence. The only thing that can still work normally is probably the heavy crossbow. Unfortunately, due to poor vision, the heavy crossbow also lost its due lethality. In desperation, the guard of Cologne had to stop the heavy crossbowmen from shooting.
The guard general winked, and the adjutant standing beside him had already understood it, so he hurriedly made a gesture, and the communicator hurried down to pass the command. Soon, a group of soldiers holding big swords and spears came to the city.
Seeing that the ladder made of corpses of monsters was about to be as high as the city wall, at this moment, both archers and throwing soldiers had lost their meaning. What is needed now is hand-to-hand combat. Obviously, archers wearing leather armor are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat.
Just as Jing Chen was observing the changes on the city wall, a monster with a small body but extremely agile jumped onto the city wall of Cologne Fortress. This was the first monster to rush up to the city wall. Although this monster was chopped over by several soldiers as soon as it came up, it also indicates a new beginning.
For a time, monsters of different sizes, different sizes and talents rushed up to the city wall through the ladder.
His eyes scanned the soldiers fighting the monsters to the death. Suddenly, Jing Chen saw a very young-looking recruit who had just been torn off one of his arms by a monster. He still yelled "Long live the king". He suddenly grabbed the monster's face with his other arm and buckled it straight towards the eyes of the monster opposite. The monster seemed to be frightened by his appearance, and he suddenly made him dig out an eyeball. The furious monster instantly slapped his head to pieces, and bright red blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere.
The huge eyeball rolled to Jing Chen's feet. Jing Chen lowered his head and saw a strong fear in the huge eyeball. Thinking about that moment, the monster didn't understand what was wrong with this young man. He actually had such strong willpower.
"boom!"
The guard of Cologne City bombed a first-level beast king who wanted to attack him with one palm. With one palm, just one palm, the monster was slapped away by a palm and fell straight downward toward Cologne City.
Many monsters were captured by the soldiers guarding the city. Before the monsters that were captured were struggling, more companions pressed on them.
Of course, there are also a large number of people on the city wall who have given their lives to defend the dignity of the race and the glory of the empire with their own lives. The lives of young people are passing by like this. This kind of chaos is no longer something that the rookie students of Zeus Academy can handle. Most of the students return to their resident under the arrangement of their mentors. Their purpose of coming here today has been achieved, and the subsequent battle has nothing to do with them.
Jing Chen and the others stayed. Of course, Yue Yanran was also by his side. At this moment, perhaps only by leaving her by his side could Jing Chen feel at ease.
Armandron turned around and glanced over the faces of every student who stayed, from beginning to end, without falling. Finally, he said with a serious expression, "You are all elites of the academy and pillars of the future Holy Spirit Empire! Today, the reason for keeping you is a test for you. Now, any of you can withdraw, and I will never stop you. But if you stay, please remember that this is a battlefield, a war between life and death, and any minor negligence can easily kill you." After that, Armandron's eyes swept over the students present again, and stayed on each of them for a moment.
All the students looked at Amanderon with firm eyes. Although it was their first time to experience such a war and there was a hint of fear in their hearts, no student chose to withdraw. They were all people of the Holy Spirit Empire. The education they received since childhood made them understand that only a country can have a home. At this moment, they decided to stick to it and stick to this line of defense, even with their lives.
Nodded with satisfaction, Amandelon's serious expression slowed down slightly, and he continued, "Since you have already made a choice, then, at this moment, I just want to say one thing to you, live... back... come back!" The short four words were sonorous and powerful. At this moment, all the students, including Jing Chen, were stunned. They really didn't expect that Amandelon's last sentence would be like this.
"Yes!" All the students replied neatly, and a magnificent momentum suddenly arose. Although their experience is not as rich as those veterans, the average strength of these remaining students has reached the third-level high level, far from comparable to those ordinary soldiers. At this moment, no one will retreat; at this moment, the flames in these young people's hearts were rising; at this moment, everyone's goal is only one - to defend their country.
The increasingly heavier and bloody smell not only made the soldiers on the city wall exert harsh force, but also stimulated those monsters even more. A wave of beast tides that were better than one wave rushed up to the city. Although most of them were killed as soon as possible, occasionally a few beast kings that rushed up were not something ordinary soldiers could deal with. At this time, the generals in the army and the old men in the golden robe would attack those powerful beast king-level monsters.
"Bang!"
Jing Chen's pair of golden arm armor hit a monster that was about to pounce on him. His arm shook, and the monster's head was instantly shattered by Jing Chen. Just as he was about to shake it away, a faint suction force came from his fingertips, and a halo shot into the black and white gems on the silver ring like lightning. The strange gem flashed slightly and no response.
"This is……"
Jing Chen glanced at Yue Yanran behind him. Seeing that Yue Yanran had not seen the strange reaction of the silver ring, he felt relieved. Although he didn't know why the gem had absorbed the energy of this monster, he still remembered the black light that seemed to be able to swallow everything when he fought with the middle-aged man in the zombie face, so he was not surprised too much.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Yue Yanran's voice came from behind Jing Chen. Jing Chen was shocked. A strong wind was blowing towards him. He didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and he sealed his arms to protect his head.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Jing Chen felt a huge force coming from his arms, and he took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.
When I looked up, I saw that a Man Bull King was glaring at him not far away, and sparks were spewing out from his breath. Seeing Jing Chen's eyes looking at it, the Man Bull King was digging the blue bricks on the city wall at the front hooves, as if he would rush over at any time.
It turned out to be the Man Bull King, which is rarely seen outside the Warcraft Mountains. Jing Chen frowned slightly. This is not a good sign. Although he had never experienced the beast tide, his father Jingtian often told him when he was a child, and the story of his father fighting the beast tide was also Jing Chen's favorite to hear. According to Jing Tian, generally the monsters in the beast tide live outside the Warcraft Mountains. These monsters are relatively weak, but they are huge in number. Although they live at the bottom of the food chain, they consume the largest amount of food. This type of monster suffers the most every year.
Warcraft is a race that emphasizes bloodline, with some powerful bloodlines, like the dragon clan. Even a freshly born young dragon has the strength of a high-level beast king, and the demon wolf, even the wolf king, is just a preliminary beast king. As for the blood wolf emperor, it can only be regarded as an anomaly among the demon wolf, and one can not be produced for thousands of years.
Although the bloodline of the Mangod King in front of Jing Chen is not noble, it is not comparable to ordinary monsters. Just like this Mangod King, at least a mid-level beast king, looking at this look, it is only one step away from the high-level one. Thinking of this, Jing Chen frowned deeper.
At this moment, Jing Chen was not afraid of this bull king, but Yue Yanran was behind him, which made him feel a little tricky.
"Swoosh!" With a clear sound, a faint green light suddenly rose on Jing Chen's body, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body. Jing Chen turned his head and saw Yue Yanran looking at him with a smile.
"Chen, let's deal with this big guy together." He said with a playful smile. Although her strength is only at level 3, Yue Yanran is practicing an alternative profession in the magician profession - Elemental Master. Unlike magicians who can attack combat skills, elemental masters are more like auxiliary professions for spiritual cultivation. Like life-type druids, they are good at assisting combat. At this moment, the green light shining on Jing Chen's body is the "light and spiritual wind" state attached to him by Yue Yanran, which can increase his various speeds by one level.

Seeing Yue Yanran's cute appearance, Jing Chen smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go together." As he said that, he turned his head seriously and stared at the Bull King. The Bull King seemed to feel Jing Chen's strength, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his huge bull's eyes.
"It's up!" As Jing Chen said that, he pushed the ground with his waist and eyes hard, and his whole body shot towards the bull king like a flash of lightning.
It seemed as if he felt Jing Chen's strength. The Man Bull King stared at Jing Chen's figure with his big copper bells, and a hint of imperceptible caution flashed in his eyes. This is the beast king-level monster, which already possesses a certain amount of wisdom. Although it may be worse than humans, it is much more difficult to deal with compared with those low-level monsters that have no wisdom at all.
"boom!"
After a loud bang and a brief temptation, the Manniu King and Jing Chen fought together. The originally crowded space became even more chaotic because of the fight between this man and a bull. Some low-level monsters were often bombarded by the overflowing energy.
The roar sounded from time to time from time to time from time to time. Jing Chen had already taken the path of a wild druid. Although he decided to focus on the formation technique inherited by the man in black robe, this melee battle was still his strength. The Bull King of Man is also a monster known for his strength. The encounter between the two was really a fierce battle.
This man and beast are fighting back and forth, and they are very lively. Now, no matter they are defenders or the monsters that have rushed up to the city wall, they dare not get close to the two. Whether it is Jing Chen or Man Bull, they are all powerful people. Looking at the entire battlefield, they are considered to be the top-notch. No one is as unhappy as they are, and they are just making do with it here.
The excited Jing Chen did not notice that a sinister light flashed in the eyes of the seemingly reckless Bull King.
"Bang!"
There was another loud noise, and one man and one cow hit another again. This kind of collision was common during the period when the two fought. Jing Chen was also used to this head-on battle. Compared to You Dou, he prefers this refreshing fighting style.
After the collision, when the two separated, suddenly, a fire light shot straight into Jing Chen's face. The fire light came extremely rapidly, and a burnt smell came. It was obvious that the fire light also contained a very strong toxicity.
Faced with this sudden attack, Jing Chen was not panicked. In fact, just when Jing Chen had just fought with the Man Bull King, he was always wary of the Man Bull King's fraud. After all, the beast king-level monsters are essentially different from those low-level monsters that only know how to kill, because they have wisdom.
When he was talking, he was about to be heard, Jing Chen's body trembled. The next moment he had already appeared beside the Manniu King. A pair of light golden arm armor brought a series of golden light to hit the Manniu King's head. The Manniu King obviously didn't expect Jing Chen to have such a move. After being slightly stunned, it was too late to avoid it. He had only time to thrust forward and prepared to use his back to force Jing Chen to take action.
Seeing that the Bull King wanted to take his fists, Jing Chen sneered a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a light green light instantly merged into his arm armor.
"boom!"
A loud bang scared all the people or monsters around him who were fighting hard. For a moment, whether it was a monster, the soldiers guarding the city, or even the old men in the golden robe, they all looked here.
Blood splattered, and the thick shoulder blades of the Man Bull King had completely broken into shape, and blood continued to gush out of the hideous wound. Obviously, the Man Bull King was not dead for a long time.
A light red energy shot into the strange gem on the silver ring in the dark that everyone had not noticed. Jing Chen, who felt the abnormal movement in his hand, did not show it.
"Moo!" A shrill roar resounded throughout the sky, and the huge body of the Barbarian Bull King struggled to get up. Unfortunately, it had already reached the end of its life with a large amount of blood loss. Suddenly, a roar filled with desolation sounded, as if echoing the dying Barbarian Bull King. A strong aura instantly rose from the distance, which was a chilling momentum. Even a strong man like Amandron couldn't help but frown.
"Lord-level monster! It's a lord-level monster!" I don't know who was the first to shout on the city wall. For a moment, the soldiers guarding the city were stunned. No one expected that the first siege of lord-level monsters would appear after the outbreak of this beast tide.
Hearing the roar of the lord-level monster, whether it was already rushing to the city or not, the monsters that had not rushing to the city were all boiling at this moment. They seemed to be welcoming their king in a more fierce manner. For a moment, the pressure on the defenders on the city suddenly increased.
Many powerful people who had rushed to the city and destroyed the ladder of the corpse of the monsters, also returned to the city. Although their strength was far stronger than ordinary monsters, even ordinary intermediate beast kings could not do anything to them. But for that lord-level monster, it was too small, and I am afraid that the monster would take all of them in their lives in their breath.
Jing Chen locked his eyebrows and stared into the distance. He had a premonition that this lord-level monster might have something to do with the Barbarian Bull King he had just killed, otherwise it would not echo the wretched cry before the Barbarian Bull King died, and it would not appear now.
Chapter completed!
